Virtuosity is great Skill in Music, or other Artistic Pursuits; while Flair deals with Style and Originality. Together they make Poetry tempered by the flair of nature in an effort to overcome mediocrity and so traverse the path of those historical figures who displayed virtuosity.

Conscientious Objection

Today is just a poem. A stanza of verses. Enjoy. Read into them as you wish, and employ some lesson in your life; though if you've already learned the lesson within, then reminders touch is certainly no sin.

Previous sleep, ever so helpful to mySanity, and just when I thought I wouldBe falling down the crazy road of doom;Sleep fell upon mine eyes, a kind boon.Should there be something else I'm missing though?What's in store for me when I'm asleep? so,Vulnerable, so at peace, mind at ease. Or is my mind at ease? For when I restAn instant colouration besets, theDarkness inside of my sockets turns toEverything I've let go of, forgotten,Left unchecked, and so my sleep becomes aNightmare of omission, a pantheon,Of strange Gods, each with its own wants, desiresRanging from foul deeds to beauteousHopes and desires; each adding in weight,To the Calibre of my state. Such sleep,Surely Hamlet knew, and sought avoidance, Contemplated escape. Yet I, in joy,Do attend; I Harken to these many thoughts;How else to know, what changes that I oughtTo implement, to address while alive?Life's not a plague that I should derive soHeinously to rid myself of its warmth.What is it then, that I stay, and delay,That inevitable trip will not wait,When it comes I'll be at that dreaded gate;So in order to find peace, to escape,I'll need those dreams, and so contemplateHow to turn nightmares to beauties fancie.When done, I'll know a blessed peace in sleep.

About Me

As a rule I enjoy Shakespeare at any time of the day, but particularly in the morning. Why? Because to speak Shakespearean early in the morning is like a breath of fresh air to your lungs, only for your voice. Once done you may speak the rest of the day with more clarity, and may advance upon your fellow speakers with agility in the tongue.
